This indicates one of 2 things: - your pc has no CPU power to keep bitcoind + p2pool + something else to run properly- your internet connection is lagging badlyOr that bitcoind has crashed / was closed / is busy ^^.

Athlon 64 X2 6000+Windows 7 64bitNo problems with bitcoind. When p2pool lost the connections there were still dozens of connections in the bitcoin client.

I would get those errors before I realized that I was using the AMD drivers that have the cgminer 100% cpu usage bug. I just manually set bitcoin-qt and p2pool for core 0, and then cgminer for core 1 and it fixed all my problems. My stales went way down as well.

Slow-DOS will lock up the p2pool and bitcoind processes, effectively paralyzing them. However, because this type of attack usually doesn't kill the network connection miners (sharing the same IP address) are free to failover to a public p2pool node or even a regular pool.

*confetti toss* I love P2Pool and all.... But it's just such a pain in the ass... having atleast three windows Always open x.x.....

I made simple .net launcher for bitcoind, namecoind and p2pool. All windows invisible. You can close launcher after it all fires up.To stop all tings need use bictoind stop, namecoind stop and kill p2pool via task manager.If you are interested...You will have only take care of miner window or use gui miner https://bitcointalk.org/?topic=3878.0

lol, my english sux badly tonight So worst case since 2 months...Let it roll, I hope it will turn back 24hrs of pps mining give me bit over 0.07 BTCIf we will back on "proper" track I`ll stick like glue to P2pool forever

My 0.5% node is open if someone need quick ping in europe:http://91.235.254.37:9332Just put address as user name, anything as password and allow to P2pool make it magic I`m keeping my machine up almost 24/7.

About current stats: - how it is possible that 10% (about 20 nodes) is still using old/bugged version of pool?- maybe we should change doa/stale policy to kill only doa and count stale (orphaned) to payout? If I understand correctly even if share is consider orphaned in pool and it is a block it is send/reported to bicoind. So why should we NOT pay miners for this? I see it is about 11% oprhaned and about 2,5% doa.
